So, it is now "that time of year" again, and thoughts turn to chestnuts roasting on an open fire and all that. But you can do much more to keep yourself warm in this Yuletide Season, you can get yourself SINGING!
In case you hadn't noticed, Choirs and singing together are all the rage (again) and what better way to do it than with a great bunch of people, song sheet in one hand and possibly a pint in the other? But where?
No need to worry, there are at least two places where you can partake of great atmosphere and singing. Firstly there are the series of Sunday Singing Sessions at the Prince Albert in Stroud that will be packed for the next few weeks from 12:30 to 14:30 with many Magnificent blokes and then there is our very own "Beer and Carols" on Thursday 12th December in The White Hart, Ashton Keynes.
Go on, give it a try, make this a "Very Singing Christmas" and a "Song Filled New Year".
. . . well, perhaps not quite, but if you are a member of the valiant troupe who will be mustering in the cold of a December night to sing your little hearts out, it's not far off!
Even if it's not quite a case of all our Christmases coming early, it won't be far off as we daringly undertake another Magnificent Double-Header of 2 performances in the one evening, and maybe even fitting in a 3rd!
We are due to be performing at the Cirencester Christmas Market event, somewhere in the Market Place in, you've guessed it, Cirencester. We are aiming to be singing some time around 5:30pm some where around the main Church to entertain all the people selling things from all the fancy sheds they currently have there.
After that we will be high tailing it to our spiritual home of The White Hart for a social supper before launching into the now annual (well 2nd year running, so Q.E.D.) songfest that is the "Beer and Carols" evening in conjunction with the Village Church plus other august singing bodies of the locality, a.k.a. The Ashton Keynes Village Choir and The Siren Sisters. It should be another great evening, "very Ashton Keynes".
There is no getting away from it, Christmas is coming and the Yuletide festivity season is descending upon us and what better way to celebrate the depths of mid-winter and the return of the sun by singing with a load of great people, in a warm pub with a bit of grub inside your belly and a drink in hand?! And we know the very place to do it.
Oh, so we better tell you more, hadn't we?! . . . The place to be is The Prince Albert in Stroud(ish) every Sunday lunchtime for spot of great pub nosh and fine old sing song of carols that you will know and others that will be less familiar but with plenty of familiar faces from The Magnificent AK47 crowd.
